I can't imagine doing all this hand embroidery on this crazy quilt top...every time I look at it I see something I didn't see before. Unfortunately, this quilt top was never finished. It is very old...the fabric is so fragile that some of it crumbled when I laid it out to take the picture.

That is a beautiful quilt and you are right - Lots of beautiful hand embroidery. Hard to imagine. That would take me the rest of my life.

I saw one like this a few years ago when I was living in Nova Scotia. I use to have a woman sell my quilts in her quilting consignment shop in Lunenburg. She had a quilt very similar to this one on display in a special custom made glass case. It was not for sale. It was dated back in the early to mid 1800s. It was absolutely amazing to see!!!

I take it this one is in your family!!! What an heirloom to have!!

Gorgeous!!! So what is the story on this? Family heirloom or did you buy it? Not that it matters, it is a treasure how ever you came by it!!!!!!! Just curious!!!!!! :D
